Anna Wearne
Trust Applications
Information
for Applicants
Our
Structure
The Anna Wearne
Trust operates in two different ways:
·
It
makes grants of up to $500 to recipients
·
It makes recommendations to the Melbourne
Community Foundation (MCF)
about the making of grants from the Anna
Wearne Fund, a sub-fund of the MCF. These
grants are generally up to $1000 and are made
to recipients via charitable entities endorsed
as deductible gift recipients (DGRs). All
grants made from the Anna Wearne Fund are
subject to review and approval by the trustees
of the MCF. We thank the MCF for its ongoing
support.
Who is eligible for grants?
Applications for funds are invited from
individuals or from community
organisations.
Community
organisations should
note, however, that it may be easier to meet
the Trust’s aim and objectives if
applications for funds focus on, or are made
on behalf of, an individual who
will directly benefit from those funds if
granted.
The
aim of the Anna Wearne Trust
is to
create opportunities for young
people to reach their potential,
where such potential is hampered due to
disadvantage or inequality.
In keeping with this aim, priority is
generally given to applications
for funds, which will be used to assist
persons 30 years of age and under.
What
will be funded?
Grants are provided for projects and
activities, which are consistent with the aim and objectives
of the Anna Wearne Trust. Grants will not be
provided for general fundraising, religious
groups or political groups.
Information
required from applicants
To assist applicants and to assist Trustees,
an application form is provided. It is not
intended to be very formal- don't "stress
out"- we just want to understand about your
project. Please include a copy of any
material, which may be helpful to the Board
when considering the application.
Timeframes
The
Trust
endeavours to respond to all applications for
funds within three months of receiving them.
Applicants should take this timeframe into
account when applying for funds.
Requirements
of successful applicants
The Trustees request that a report be
forwarded to the Trust on the completion of
the activity or project. The report need not
be very formal. It may be included in the Anna
Wearne Trust's newsletter, Cork Your Hole and
on this website.
Grants
available
The Anna Wearne Trust currently offers grants
from $50 to $1000.
